Genome-wide association study of 1,391 plasma metabolites in 6,136 Finnish men identifies 303 novel signals and provides biological insights into human diseases
Few studies have explored the impact of rare variants (minor allele frequency, MAF<1%) on highly heritable plasma metabolites identified in metabolomic screens. The Finnish population provides an ideal opportunity for such explorations, given the multiple bottlenecks and expansions that have shaped its history, and the enrichment for many otherwise rare...
